RADIATION HAZARDS IN SPACE FLIGHT [PDF]
, 1958 The knowledge pertinent to dose evaluation is reviewed for conditions of flight in space in the vicinity of the earth but away from the influence of its atmosphere or magnetic field. Certain properties of the heavy nuclei are also discussed as well as some of the available information on their actual biological effects.

Acceleration Profiles and Processing Methods for Parabolic Flight [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Parabolic flights provide cost-effective, time-limited access to "weightless" or reduced gravity conditions experienced in space or on planetary surfaces, e.g. the Moon or Mars. These flights facilitate fundamental research - from materials science to space biology - and testing/validation activities that support and complement infrequent and costly ...

Magnesium and Space Flight [PDF]
Nutrients, 2015 Magnesium is an essential nutrient for muscle, cardiovascular, and bone health on Earth, and during space flight. We sought to evaluate magnesium status in 43 astronauts (34 male, 9 female; 47 ± 5 years old, mean ± SD) before, during, and after 4–6-month space missions.
